Yup. That is how is went down. There were several other minors on the flight and she mentioned they were all on this one, but he was on the late flight. Thus, I can see the desire to not split the group up and leave one stranded alone for 3 hours.

I'm not complaining. I actually thought the GA did a great job trying to meet everyones needs. She went through the entire list of 3-8 before getting him a seat; She didn't give me my BP until exactly 10mins to depart (to the second), etc.. By the book..... As I said, I would have yielded the seat to him anyways if I got it first.

All good but was just curious
